Just by waiting 2 hours between dinner and sleep, her episodes of dizziness were drastically reduced.
Sleeping immediately after eating also increases the risk of silent reflux, which irritates structures near nerves involved in balance.
What to do
Have dinner earlier whenever you can.
Allow at least 2 hours between dinner and bedtime.
If you feel very sleepy after eating, take a short nap sitting down, not lying down.
Mistake 6: Sitting for hours without moving your neck or changing your gaze
“Doctor, I hardly do anything, how am I going to get dizzy?”
Precisely for that reason.
After the age of 60, the body tolerates very poorly long periods of immobility, especially with the neck slightly tilted forward (television, cell phone, reading).
What’s the matter?
The neck muscles tighten like a hard rope.
Blood flow to the brain is reduced.
Position sensors in the neck send confusing signals to the balance system.
